But ever since I signed up over 5 years ago (before the streaming services), I knew quite well that I was signing up for a service and that I am not in control.

I suppose if you insist on viewing Plex as solely for playing your own content, sure. I never quite understood the hostility towards them on this. I've only had to go to the settings once to disable/hide their annoyances. Every once in a while they make minor changes that seem to promote their services, but they're very ignorable.

The main annoyance was done once, and you can just go to the settings and disable it. They suddenly shoved my hosted media into a random sidebar menu and started pushing their "free" content on homepage and also started doing purchases and rentals, so is it just getting close to being another Netflix/Hulu?
